Sumptuous Pecan Wood Serving Bowl


Pecan wood has naturally sumptuous colors and that’s all there is to it.  When you look at the different shades of colors here in this bowl along with some spalting, you have an outstanding bowl.   One nice thing about this bowl is that it has a large capacity.  Measured to the brim it holds ¾ of a gallon.  When you consider the bowl measures 10 ½” in diameter, 4” high, and 3” deep that just ain’t bad at all.  That is a lot of salad, veggies, or even popcorn!  You may use this bowl with confidence as the wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil.  Then it was finished using a mix of walnut oil, walnut oil based wax, and shellac.  This combination gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  Whether you use this bowl for serving veggies or other tasty items, it will look excellent sitting on your table.  26Aug18  BLP197

Classy Pecan Wood Serving Bowl


This bowl is classy and that’s all there is to it.  After all it is turned from pecan wood which is classy all in it’s own.  Second take a look at the clean lines that define this bowl.  Kinda hard to go wrong with it, that’s for sure.  You are gonna have to look long and hard to find a nicer bowl to be sitting on your table.  Use it as a serving bowl, a display bowl for fruits and nuts, as a salad bowl, and many other uses.  You may use it with confidence as the bowl was sealed with food grade walnut oil.  The finishing was done with a mixture of walnut oil and shellac with the finishing cloth also dipped into some walnut oil based wax.  This helps work the finish into the wood even more.  You may even still feel the grain of the wood some.  Using the combination that I do gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  The volume of the bowl comes to 5 cups measured to the brim.  15Aug18  BLP196  For more info see:

Simple Lined Pecan Serving Bowl


Some might wonder what I mean by simple lined in referring to a bowl.  Well, to me this means that there are no fancy embellishments on the outside or the inside of the bowl.  Just simple flowing lines that in turn make the bowl beautiful and elegant.  This bowl turned from pecan wood is one of those bowls.  It has a really nice capacity as it holds ½ gallon measured to the brim.  You may use the bowl with confidence as the wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mix with a little bit of walnut oil based wax mixed in.  This gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  The bowl is 11” in diameter, 2 ½” high and has a nice depth of just a tad under 2”.  Go ahead and load this bowl up with your favorite salads, veggies or even popcorn.  It will look good sitting wherever you put it, believe me.  12Aug18  BLP195

Extraordinary Pecan Serving Bowl


Accidents happen now and then while turning wood.  Something on this bowl that came out to be a really nice addition is a really good accident!  That’s the dark line at the rim.  I am not 100% sure just how it happened while sanding, but I can only guess the sandpaper did it and I am not gonna complain.  Looks pretty good.  Another nice feature about this bowl is the knothole on the inside filled with crushed powdered turquoise.  The bowl measures 8 ¾” in diameter, 2 ¾” in height, and 2 ¼” in depth.  The capacity of this bowl measures at 5 cups.  Not bad, not bad at all!  The wood was sealed with food grade walnut oil and then finished with a walnut oil/shellac mixture.  This combination gives the bowl a nice hard long lasting natural finish.  Grab this one.  Don’t let it get away.  A one of a kind bowl, for sure.  2Aug18  BLP194  For more info see:
